,Serena Williams celebrates her wedding anniversary, expressing gratitude for her perfect marriage. She adds that she feels blessed by God with two precious children.
last night, Serena Williams officially tied the knot with Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, and this tennis superstar served up a perfect wedding. From the bride’s stunning Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress to the out-of-this-world entertainment and star-studded guest list, these New Orleans nuptials were the Grand Slam of weddings, and we’re living for it.
On November 16, a whole slew of A-listers descended upon the Big Easy for the wedding—a locale that was the perfect choice for this too-cool couple. “Alexis really wanted to do it here,” Serena explained to Vogue. “It’s his favorite city besides Brooklyn. It’s got a heavy European influence, it’s fun, and has amazing food. He just loves the vibe. The venue—the Contemporary Art Center of New Orleans—was a decision we both made. Painting and art is something I’m really passionate about, so it just felt natural and different to do it at a contemporary art museum
The bride’s wedding dress was a work of art in and of itself. Serena choose a regal ball gown designed by Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen to walk down the aisle in. “I flew to London to meet with Sarah and ended up falling in love with the ball gown silhouette, which is completely the opposite of what I ever thought I would choose for myself,” she said. “I loved the idea of doing a really spectacular ball gown, and it has turned out to be such an incredibly special piece.” Featuring a voluminous tulle skirt and strapless neckline, the princess-worthy gown was completed with a cool cape, brilliantly bedazzled for this superhero bride.
And about that aisle…Serena wanted to keep the ceremony personal and nontraditional—yet still super sweet. “For seating, I wanted the whole thing to be as non-traditional as possible, so we did sofas instead of chairs, and everything is facing the aisle instead of the altar,” said Serena. Vogue reports that guests entered the ceremony space at 5:15 p.m., where they were greeted with pre-ceremony cocktails. A video that depicted the bride and groom’s love story played on TVs encased in gold frames above the aisle.
Following her bridesmaids in their custom Galia Lahav dresses, Serena made her über-grand entrance in her frothy frock. Carrying a bouquet of white roses and wearing a cool $3.5 million-worth of XIV Karats jewelry, she floated down the aisle to meet her groom who was waiting in a crisp Armani suit. In their handwritten vows, Alexis called Serena his queen, adding that they already have their princess—their young daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. “
I will always have bad jokes that make your eyes roll; make you give me the side eye,” Alexis told his wife. “You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport,” he continued. “I’m talking about as a mother, and as a wife. I am so excited to write so many more chapters of our fairy tale together. And my whole life I didn’t even realize it, but I was waiting for this moment. And everything that I have done, everything that I am so proud of in my career, and in my life, for the last 34 years, pales in comparison to what we’re doing today. And I am so grateful, and I am so in love.”

The Peninsula Hotel later expressed regret for turning down Williams, sharing on X: ‘Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight.
Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved.
‘We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.’
Williams’ fans were quick to rip the hotel for rejecting the tennis legend as one X user asked: ‘How does one get denied when they are Serena Williams…… lol’
Glad you didn’t have to waste money there,’ another fan pointed out.
‘You’re better off not going, their food is subpar — I’ve unfortunately had to pay for it quite a few times,’ someone else said.
Williams has attended several Olympic disciplines with her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, and her family in Paris.

Olympic Integrity in Question: Simone Biles’ Honors Under Fire Amid Age Fraud Allegations
In a shocking turn of events, the Olympic community is reeling as allegations of age fraud surface against American gymnast Simone Biles. The 25-year-old gymnastics superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is facing mounting pressure as many call for her honors to be stripped.
According to sources, an investigation has been launched into Biles’ age, with some claiming she may have falsified her birth certificate to compete in younger age groups earlier in her career. If true, this would be a violation of Olympic rules and could result in Biles being stripped of her medals and titles.
Biles has yet to comment on the allegations, but her team has released a statement denying any wrongdoing. “Simone has always been transparent about her age and has never attempted to deceive anyone,” the statement read.
As the investigation continues, the Olympic community is holding its breath. If Biles is found guilty, it would be a devastating blow to the sport and could have far-reaching consequences.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
